While he would enjoy the commercial success during a string of albums in the mid- to late '70s, he also lent his production and songwriting skills to several labelmates, including the Natural Four. After the closing of Curtom Records in 1980, Hutson's career diminished into obscurity with the exception of 1982's jazz-funk-tinged Paradise. However, he has maintained a strong cult following among soul collectors to this day, and in 2000 Sequel Records had the good sense to reissue not only the original albums on CD but a two-disc anthology spanning the greatest hits of his career.
All Because of You
Leroy Hutson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All Because Of You
Every night I get tired eyes
My feet don't reach the ground
Then I'm with you
I get by 'cause I know that you're near me
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
Every night when the fire flies
The walls come tumblin' down
At the Bijou
I get by 'cause I know that you're near me
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you
I'll keep singin' my love song
In my mind I'll sing a song for you
you can see through the music
That's in my mind
So baby close your eyes
I can sleep tonight
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
Karen Carpenter
All Because Of You
The lyrics of Leroy Hutson's "All Because of You" are a beautiful representation of the power of love and how it can bring comfort and peace to our lives. The opening lines "Every night I get tired eyes, my feet don't reach the ground" paint a picture of exhaustion and weariness, but then the singer finds solace in the fact that their loved one is with them, and that gives them the strength to go on. The chorus of "So baby close your eyes, I can sleep tonight, all because of you" reinforces this idea that the presence of a loved one can bring about a sense of calmness and provide an escape from a busy and chaotic world.
The second verse introduces the image of a crumbling world, with "the walls come tumblin' down, at the Bijou". This could represent a situation in the singer's life where everything seems to be falling apart, but once again, their loved one is there to provide support and to help them weather the storm. The final verse speaks to the power of music as a way to express love and to communicate the deep feelings in one's heart. "I'll keep singin' my love song, in my mind, I'll sing a song for you, you can see through the music, that's in my mind" suggests that the singer finds comfort in expressing their love through music, and that their loved one is able to feel it and to understand how much they mean to them.
Overall, "All Because of You" is a beautiful song that celebrates the transformative power of love, and how it can help us navigate the ups and downs of life. It reminds us that even in the darkest moments, the presence of someone we love can make all the difference.

If there was ever a tune close to perfection this is it, omg it drives me crazy only 216,000 views whats going on! Leroy is up there with the greatest.

So godam perfect this tune whenever i listen to it, I just keep saying yes, yes,yes....unbelieveable
